Description
Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce is made with just 4 ingredients in the slow cooker. It’s easy to make and is much more flavorful than store-bought.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or honey
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place the apple slices in the slow cooker. Add the maple syrup or honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Gently stir to combine.
- Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.
- Blend until your desired consistency using an immersion blender. Serve it warm or refrigerate it for later in an airtight container.
Notes
Use a variety of apples for the best flavor. I like to use a mix of Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith.
Cook times may vary depending on the variety of apple you choose. Some varieties take longer to soften while cooking.
Add a splash of water as needed to help add steam to soften the apples.
To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
